Judges, attorneys, and judicial employees shall fulfill their roles according to the highest
standards of professionalism. Court employees will avoid unjustified treatment in both language
and action and remain aware of the need to act without regard to gender, racial, religious, or
other inappropriate bias. To this end, persons appearing in court who believe they have been
treated without equal respect and dignity may bring the matter to the attention of a magistrate or
chief judge. Matters brought to the attention of a magistrate judge will be discussed with the
chief judge.
